Chapter 123: A warning to Puna

In the afternoon, everyone knew that Tang Baoqi and Wang Maoru, the clerks of the delegation, had known each other for a long time, and they were still boyfriend and girlfriend. Bi Guifang's negotiation delegation is more than 20 people, only she is a girl, and she is the daughter of the former prime minister, so she is naturally favored by everyone, and she is the dream lover of many unmarried men. Her brother-in-law is Gu Weijun, the most popular in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang Government, and if she can catch up, it will be a carp jumping into the dragon gate. Many young men secretly competed, but they didn't expect to learn the news that others had already taken the lead, and they were still privately determined for life.

The boys in the delegation had their dreams shattered and had to focus all their attention on the negotiations, and the delegation held several meetings and expressed its bottom line: Hulunbuir must accept the Chinese government to take over. The delegation was about to leave Binjiang Mansion (Harbin) for a month-long negotiations, Wang Maoru originally did not want Tang Baoqi to go with her, but she insisted that this was her own work, so he had no choice but to agree, and sent a company of soldiers to protect the delegation. The head of the regiment, Bi Guifang, was very depressed because the reason why General Shangwu sent troops to protect them was not because he was a government commissioner, but because the secretary in the delegation was a woman who was a general.

Sending Bi Guifang and the others away, Wang Maoru saw Puna, and the prince of Pu specially ran from Jinan to Qiqihar. Wang Maoru asked him what the reason was, and Puna spat out bitterness and said that Jinan was not easy to mix. Since the Japanese came, they wantonly destroyed in Shandong, and his business in Jinan was also squeezed out by Japanese merchants and suppressed by Japanese ronins, so he had to sell his business to local merchants in Jinan and take his brothers north to find a backer.

Most of Puna's brothers were broken bannermen and Han army bannermen, and some of them were retired or expelled from the forbidden army after serving in the forbidden army. Puna also hopes to take his brothers to join the army again, and have a good background, knowing that Wang Maoru is a celebrity in front of the president, if he develops smoothly, he may be able to become a general or something in the future.

The temperament of these people can also be guessed, Wang Maoru will definitely not allow them to enter the army and corrupt the atmosphere of the army. After thinking about it, Wang Maoru told him to let him go to Binjiang Mansion, asking them to settle down in Binjiang Mansion, ostensibly doing business, and secretly helping him find out about the provinces outside the Guanxi and the news of Japan and Russia.

Pu Na said that these things need money, Wang Maoru said to give you 20,000 taels of silver, set up a set of intelligence network for me, pay attention, hire more Northeast merchants, this place in the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, Hu bandits guard the morality of beard and will never rob the merchants who sell goods, you can find the merchants, or skip the class to find out the news.

Pu Na happily accepted the job, and Wang Maoru said again: "Brother Pu, I have a relationship with Brother Pu, so I also respect you very much, so I have to say a word." ”

"You say."

Wang Maoru said: "I know that with the help of the Japanese recently. Prince Su is planning an armed rebellion against the Zongshe, but what I want to say is that the Zongshe armed will always be unsuccessful, and once the government is aware of dealing with the Zongshe, the only remaining power of the bannermen will be gone. Back then, the Qing Empire had changed dynasties, and now a few members of the clan can succeed? Look at the current flag people, who are the famous generals? Therefore, this rebellion will definitely not succeed, I don't care about others, but you, Brother Pu, must not participate. ”

Puna was stunned for a long time, then nodded and said, "I know." ”

"Also, don't get involved with the Japanese, the last time I was assassinated in Harbin, it was the Japanese who did it, so the Japanese are actually my enemies. Since the two of us are on the same line, we must not have differences. Wang Maoru advised.

"It's Japanese?" Punaqi said, "I heard that it was the people of the rivers and lakes who said that it was not Meng Enyuan's people who didn't skip words."

Wang Maoru sneered: "Even if it's really Japanese, I can't say it, and now I can't afford to mess with them, right?" So I can only say that the Jianghu people were assassinated. ”

Puna covered his forehead and suddenly realized, "It turned out to be done by Japan, grandma's, little Japan is really not a thing." ”

As soon as Pu Na left, Ren Yuanxing said: "Brigade Marshal, this Pu Dagongzi is not a person who grasps it, I see his words flickering, it is estimated that he has already had contact with the Japanese." ”

"Well, I also think that if you secretly send someone to monitor him and see his whereabouts in Harbin, I can't raise a white-eyed wolf." Wang Mao said calmly, thought for a while and said: "In this way, Fanchen, you secretly organize a team of people for me to collect intelligence, and this intelligence agency is called Hulunbuir Intelligence Center." Now you, the nominal director of the translation and telecommunications department, should have some horses. ”

"Yes." Ren Yuanxing said hurriedly, secretly rejoicing in his heart, the adjutant and deputy chief seemed to have a lot of power, but in fact, there was not a single soldier under his command, it was just Wang Maoru's microphone.

After the meeting in Qiqihar City, Wang Maoru led the team back to Ganjingzi City in Gannan County, and found that Ganjingzi City is now more prosperous, and thirty or forty shops suddenly appeared on the street. Among them, there are more than a dozen hotels, restaurants, cart shops, seven or eight kilns, three casinos, two large tobacco houses and several grocery stores. The magistrate of Gannan County said that this was all because the 17th Mixed Brigade lived locally, and the soldiers had money on hand, which stimulated local consumption. Wang Maoru returned to the barracks and called the chief of supervision, and the original director of supervision, Zhao Zengfu, was transferred to the commander of the third infantry battalion, and the current director of supervision is concurrently served by Zhu Huailong, director of the military justice department. Wang Maoru asked if any soldiers smoked big cigarettes when they went out, and Zhu Huailong said that the soldiers went to the kiln to drink alcohol during the holidays, but no one smoked. Wang Maoru instructed him to immediately issue regulations on the management of soldiers, and if any soldier smokes a lot, he will not be killed, Zhu Huailong hesitated for a moment, and said: "The soldier does not smoke a lot, but ...... There were officers who smoked big cigarettes. ”

"What? An officer smokes a big cigarette? Wang Maoru was very surprised and said, "Who?" The regulations of the Beiyang Army stipulate that smokers are not allowed to join the army, doesn't he understand? Who is it? ”

Zhu Huailong said: "It's the battalion commander Gai, he was born recklessly, so he ......" Obviously, Gai Tianjiu was born as a bandit, and some bandit habits on his body are indeed very difficult to change, sometimes it is inevitable that he can't remember the advice, and sometimes he still has the idea of a small farmer, thinking that others don't know if he secretly smokes two mouthfuls.

"I'll figure it out." Wang Maoru's heart darkened slightly, and he said that he knew, this Gai Tianjiu helped him a lot, after he abandoned the bandits and joined the army, he has always been conscientious in his work, and on the way north, no matter what he gave him, Gai Tianjiu was successfully completed, and he did no worse than the officers who graduated from the regular military academy. Wang Maoru thought about it, if he directly asked Gai Tianjiu to tell him about it, it would hurt the face of his subordinates, so he found Gai Tianjiu's old brother, the old Xiucai staff officer Xu Laofu, and asked Xu Laofu to find a way to persuade Gai Tianjiu not to smoke big cigarettes in private.

After listening to this, Xu Laofu said helplessly: "Deputy Brigade Commander Gai is idle because he has nothing to do, the commander of the guard battalion is a job to settle down and protect the hospital, Gai Tianwang is originally a person who can't be idle, it's better for the general to assign him a job, he will definitely not smoke a lot." Our old brother persuaded him again, and he specified that it would work. ”
